UPSL - Provisional Teams / 2019

About Us

Our Name:

In 1915, territorial governor John Franklin Alexander Strong encouraged residents to change the city's name to one that had "more significance and local associations". In the summer of that year, residents held a vote to change the city's name; a plurality of residents favored changing the city's name to "Alaska City." However, the territorial government ultimately declined to change the city's name. (City for Empire: An Anchorage History, 1914-1941. University of Alaska Press. pg 169-170)

Alaskans now have the name they voted for 100 years ago, and Alaskans now have the team they have wanted for years!

Our Vision:

A true community team that flourishes in Matanuska Valley, partnered with the local community to elevate the level of competitive play in Alaska, provide opportunities for youth development, and provide a positive force for community engagement.

Our Mission:

To be sports ambassadors for Mat Su Valley, representing the community both on and off the pitch.

Our Goals:

1. Participate in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2020.

2. Provide a higher level of competitive play for outstanding talent after High School and College.

3. Rally the Mat Su Valley around a common cause. Give Alaskan fans, of the most popular sport in the world, a local community Champion.

4. Start a soccer academy that provides opportunity for kids who otherwise can't afford the high costs of youth competitive club soccer.
